Definitions
- a motion disc The leading cause of lower back pain arises from rupture or degeneration of lumbar intervertebral discs. Pain in the lower extremities is caused by the compression of spinal nerve roots by a bulging disc, while lower back pain is caused by collapse of the disc and by the adverse effects of articulation weight through a damaged, unstable vertebral joint.
- One proposed method of managing these problems is to remove the problematic disc and replace it with a prosthetic disc that allows for the natural motion between the adjacent vertebrae (“a motion disc”).
- trial implants are commonly included within the instrument sets that allow the surgeon to temporarily insert the trial into the intervertebral disc space and assess whether the height and footprint of the trial would be appropriate for the actual implant to be inserted.

- Krueger discloses both a trial spacer and trial endplates. However, the trial endplates appear to be designed to engage to an inserter instrument that is then positioned within the disc space. See Krueger at [0154]. Therefore, it appears that Krueger teaches a dynamic trial, wherein the operator can vary the distance between the trial endplates by varying the force on the instrument.
- the present invention solves this problem by providing a kit for building a modular static intervertebral trial having interchangeable base members having different heights, and interchangeable endplates having different footprints and angles.

- the modular trial preferably has three components.
- the first two components are opposing endplates that are geometrically equivalent to the endplates of the candidate implants.

Abstract
Description
- The leading cause of lower back pain arises from rupture or degeneration of lumbar intervertebral discs. Pain in the lower extremities is caused by the compression of spinal nerve roots by a bulging disc, while lower back pain is caused by collapse of the disc and by the adverse effects of articulation weight through a damaged, unstable vertebral joint. One proposed method of managing these problems is to remove the problematic disc and replace it with a prosthetic disc that allows for the natural motion between the adjacent vertebrae (“a motion disc”).
- Prior to inserting the disc, however, the surgeon typically desires to insure that the properly sized implant has been identified for the particular patient. To this end, trial implants are commonly included within the instrument sets that allow the surgeon to temporarily insert the trial into the intervertebral disc space and assess whether the height and footprint of the trial would be appropriate for the actual implant to be inserted. Typically, a large number of trials are supplied in an instrument set, with each having a distinct height, lordotic angle and footprint.
- US Published Patent Application No. 2004/0143332 (“Krueger”). discloses both a trial spacer and trial endplates. However, the trial endplates appear to be designed to engage to an inserter instrument that is then positioned within the disc space. See Krueger at [0154]. Therefore, it appears that Krueger teaches a dynamic trial, wherein the operator can vary the distance between the trial endplates by varying the force on the instrument.
- US Published Patent Application No. 2004/0167537 (“Errico”) also discloses a dynamic trial, wherein the operator can vary the distance between the trial endplates by varying the force on the instrument.
- US Published Patent Application No. 2004/0236342 (“Ferree”) discloses a modular articulating trial, wherein the articulating nature of the trial allows the relative angles of the trial endplates to vary with the orientation of the opposing natural vertebral endplates. See Ferree at [0097].
- There are three primary parameters required when selecting the appropriate interbody device: footprint, lordotic angle, and height. Considering these parameters and their corresponding size range, there are a great number of possible implant configurations from which a surgeon can choose. While these sizing options enable the surgeon to better accommodate the patient population, selecting the appropriately sized implant becomes increasingly difficult.
- The present invention solves this problem by providing a kit for building a modular static intervertebral trial having interchangeable base members having different heights, and interchangeable endplates having different footprints and angles. Thus, the present invention enables the surgeon to build a trial that accounts for each of these parameters to determine the proper size prior to inserting the implant.
- The modular trial preferably has three components. The first two components are opposing endplates that are geometrically equivalent to the endplates of the candidate implants. In the kit, different endplate angles and footprints are provided. The third component is the base, which in the kit provides different heights corresponding to the heights of candidate implants.
- Utilizing this kit can significantly reduce the number of trialing iterations required to determine the appropriately sized implant, as well as reduce the procedure time and, consequently, risk to the patient, and reduces the total number of components in the kit, more efficiently utilizing space within the constraints of the operating room.

- In preferred embodiments, the outer surface of each endplate has a pair of
parallel tracks 31 extending outwardly therefrom, wherein the tracks run in the anterior-posterior direction. These tracks are centered about the midline of the trial and are useful for keeping the endplate centered upon a rail of an inserter used to insert the trial into the disc space. The tracks also assist the surgeon in verifying the midline via fluoroscopy. - Preferably, the trial of the present invention contains radiographic features that aid in locating the device properly. Once the final trial location has been obtained, a midline marker can be placed relative to the trial position to act as a reference for the remainder of the procedure. Therefore, in some embodiments, each of the parallel tracks is provided with a
notch 33, preferably extending into the track from the middle of theouter surface 35 thereof. In some embodiments, the notch extends into the track from a location slightly posterior of the middle of theouter surface 35 thereof. These notches serve as radiographic markers that preferably provide to the surgeon the precise location of the center of rotation. - In preferred embodiments, the inner surface of each endplate has a
longitudinal rail 37 extending inwardly therefrom towards the base and in the medial-lateral direction. This rail is adapted to fit within acorresponding rail recess 39 upon an upper or lower surface of the base, and serves to prevent rotation of the endplate about the base. - In preferred embodiments, the inner surface of each endplate has a
cylindrical post 41 extending inwardly therefrom towards the base substantially from the center of the endplate. Each post has anannular groove 42 disposed near theend 44 of the post. This post is adapted to be captured by a correspondingcircular hole 43 upon an upper or lower surface of the base, and helps lock the endplate to the base. - In preferred embodiments, the base component of the modular trail comprises a
housing 51 having upper 23 and lower 25 surfaces,lateral sidewalls 53, ananterior wall 55, and aposterior wall 57. - Each of the upper and lower walls has a
circular hole 43 for reception of the endplate post. Each of the upper and lower walls also has alongitudinal rail recess 39 adapted for reception of therespective rails 37 of the corresponding endplates. These recesses are located near theanterior ends 38 of the upper and lower walls and run in the medial-lateral direction and - The
anterior wall 55 has aflange 59 extending anteriorly therefrom, wherein the flange hasconnection features 61 adapted for connection to a handle. - The
posterior wall 57 of the base has a large window for reception of locking components. - In preferred embodiments, the locking components comprise a pair of
springs 101 and a pair oflocking buttons 105. Thesprings 101 are located in the anterior portion of the housing and run in the anterior-posterior direction. They provide a bias against the anterior ends of the locking buttons, and allow the locking buttons to be moved within the housing in the anterior-posterior direction. - Each
locking button 105 comprises alongitudinal shaft 107 having aplate 109 extending medially from the medial wall of the shaft. Thebuttons 105 are located in the posterior portion of the housing and run in the anterior-posterior direction. They are held in place by the bias provided by their corresponding springs. Theplate 109 of each button has ahole 110 on itsouter surface 112 for capture of the endplate post of the respective endplate. Each of theseholes 110 has alip 116 on its anterior side. This lip is adapted to be received withinannular groove 42 of the respective endplate post. Thelateral wall 111 of the shaft has arecess 113 extending therethrough for capture by the locking nuts that have been received through theside walls 53. Theposterior end face 114 of each locking button has amarker 115 that indicates the endplate corresponding to that button. - Preferably, each
side wall 53 of the base has a posteriorly situated threadedhole 91 adapted for reception of a lockingnut 93. This locking nut extends into therecesses 113 of the locking button to slidably mount the locking button in the housing in a position whereby thelocking button hole 110 is aligned with therespective holes 43 in the upper and lower walls of the base, so that the endplate posts of the respective endplates may be locked in place. - Now referring to
FIG. 2 , in use, the surgeon first selects candidate components, including afirst base member 21, a firstupper endplate 1 and a firstlower endplate 11. The first base member is assembled so that the locking button hole is aligned with the respective holes in the upper and lower walls of the base, and lockingnuts 93 help retain the locking buttons in the housing. The nuts are then tightened just enough to allow slidable mounting of the locking buttons within the housing. The surgeon then presses the endplate posts 41 of the selected endplates through the respective holes in the upper 23 and lower walls, and into the holes in the locking buttons, thereby locking the endplates to the base. The assembled modular trail is shown inFIG. 3 . The surgeon then inserts the modular trial into the disc space and assesses its suitability. - If the surgeon decides to change one of the components (for example, the upper endplate) the surgeon then presses the corresponding locking button so that it moves in the anterior direction, thereby causing
lip 116 to release from the annular grove of the post and releasing the endplate post and therefore the top endplate. The surgeon then inserts the endplate post of a second upper endplate through the hole in the upper wall, and into the hole in the respective locking button, thereby locking the second upper endplate to the base. - In some embodiments, the kit includes a plurality of base members, wherein the base members have different heights.
